Who did what?

The Case of the Winding Staircase

The Case of the Blanketing Fog

How did Nancy Drew die?
Has anyone even looked into that?
Maybe she is alive
in deep dementia
by a window somewhere
in her last week
looking down at the softening edge 
of her prim lavender sweater
for clues
of who she is
who she was

of what question to ask

or what is a question
